The Husband List: 2 [Mass Market Paperback] Alexander, Victoria

Victorian England meets strategic matchmaking in this witty historical romance where Lady Gillian Shelton has had enough of waiting for the right man to appear. Armed with a detailed list of requirements for the perfect husband — titled, wealthy, sensible, and definitely not rakish — she sets out to find him systematically. The problem? The infuriating Lord Shelbrooke keeps getting in her way, and he fails every single criterion on her list. He's arrogant, improper, and entirely too charming for her own good. Victoria Alexander delivers sharp banter, simmering tension, and the kind of chemistry that makes lists look ridiculous. It's Jane Austen energy with a bit more heat, perfect for readers who like their historical romances smart, swoony, and self-aware. If you've ever made a pros-and-cons list about a crush, you'll feel seen.
